Braving wind,snow and rain,we travelled down to Middlesbrough to attend Pendraken's annual show,but at a new location,this year.Everything was great,free entry,free parking,and good demo/participation games-we put on our award winning Khambula game,which attracted many keen Zulu enthusiasts as well as general interested "punters"-Traders seemed to be doing well and the bring and buy was very busy all day!
Setting up the game,and our display of Zulu and British weapons/books etc.
We talked and talked and talked!!-this is such an interesting period to all sorts of people,due to the two famous films,"ZULU" and "ZULU DAWN"-when the action started,even more people were drawn to our table-watching the game and handling the authentic weapons.
Action-the game followed very closely the actual battle-the Zulus getting a right old bashing!!-we talked the action through with the bystanders,many of them were fans of the period,who understood the tactics and history of the period.
Nearly three o'clock and the B and B is still doing great business-the crowd is thinning out now,but we are still attracting interested punters!
A good day was had by all,wallets were emptied and friendships renewed-with the possibility of a new member-we shall see!!
